Chapter 1337

"You brought enemies upon us!"

Black Pupils was restrained by Red Pupils with true qi and kept by his side; upon seeing soldiers appear out of thin air, he was filled with loathing.

How had his own elder sister become like this?

I must correct my elder sister's ways!

Chengmenkou.

Tatsumi, Ieyasu, and Sayo—the three of them stared dumbfounded at the notice posted on the city wall, expressions of disbelief on their faces.

They had come to the imperial capital intending to join the army, hoping to solve the problem of their village.

The result—the empire had already fallen.

Naturally, they could no longer join the so-called imperial army.

"Tatsumi, what do we do?"

Ieyasu asked.

As the words fell, a burst of cheers rang out, drawing the three of them to look.

Another notice had just been posted.

The three crowded forward, listened to the commoners around them discussing, and took a closer look at the notice—wild joy instantly appeared on their faces.

"Tatsumi, we don't have to join the army anymore. The tax laws and everything have been changed! From now on the village won't be bled dry by the empire."

"Twenty mu of land per person, a one-tenth tax, never corvée labor, never additional taxes? Is this real?"

Everyone present was utterly shocked.

Especially Tatsumi and the other two—minds like a roller coaster, just pulled from the bewildered, helpless low after the empire's fall, they had shot straight to the peak in an instant.

If the notice was true!

That would be a truly joyous occasion indeed.
